Arielle Phillips told NBC News she was in a stall with her horse, Detail, late Friday night when the 17-year-old \u201ccame by twice to try and make conversation by asking me weird questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s this stalker who has been following me on social media for a long time,\u201d Phillips, who was in Vegas to compete in a barrel racing event held by the National Barrel Horse Association, said. \u201cShe obsessed over Detail and obsessed over meeting me. And because she was also competing I guess this was her chance to meet us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillips, 34, said she had never responded to any of the suspect\u2019s messages and tried not get into an extended conversation with the teenager. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was weird,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cShe had no business being there.\u201d<\/p>\n

But just minutes after she said goodnight to Detail and left the stall, Phillips wrote in a Facebook post that the teenager \u201cbrutally stabbed\u201d the mare six times \u201ccausing Detail to go frantic and get loose, taking off thru the barn aisles, blood pouring everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThis girl had the nerve to call my boyfriend\u2019s daughter while I literally just got back into the room after leaving Detail, stating she found Detail with her stall door open,\u201d Phillips wrote. \u201cImpossible! I latch and triple wrap the latch before I leave her stall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old was arrested after three horses were reported injured around 2 a.m. Saturday during the Professional\u2019s Choice Vegas Super Show, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teen had access to the barn, and investigators believe she may have used a knife to inflict multiple injuries to the horses,\u201d police said. \u201cWhile the injuries are not considered life-threatening, they are expected to prevent the horses from competing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teenager, who police did not identify because she is a minor, was booked on suspicion of 12 counts dealing with injuring horses and three counts of felony malicious destruction of private property, police said.<\/p>\n

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wilson said he is seeking to have the teenager prosecuted as an adult.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese allegations involve deliberate acts of extreme cruelty against defenseless animals and have had a significant impact on the victims, the owners, and the broader equestrian community,\u201d Wolfson said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnimal abuse cases are taken extremely seriously by our office,\u201d the statement said. \u201cNevada law allows certain juvenile offenders to be prosecuted as adults when warranted by the seriousness of the conduct. We believe this case meets that standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Phillips said the two other horses that were injured are named Rocket and Saaul Good, or Sully<\/p>\n

Sully had been attacked just hours after 20-year-old Hailey Krahenbuhl had ridden the gelding to a first place finish in the competition, according to the National Barrel Horse Association. <\/p>\n

Krahenbuhl could not be reached for comment. <\/p>\n

Police have not divulged a motive for assaulting the horses.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the NBHA said in a statement that the attacks on the horses involved a competitor at the show, which was held over the weekend at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Phillips in her post wrote that after the suspect called and reported that Detail had fled her stall, she was told to leave the horse alone and that they were on their way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI rushed down to find her hosing off Detail\u2019s wounds,\u201d Phillips wrote. \u201cI walked up to Detail, and this mare who loves and trusts me with her life, jumped away in fear as I reached my hand out. My blood boiled in that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI immediately suspected this girl,\u201d Phillips wrote. <\/p>\n

Phillips said Detail is recovering, but it will be a while before she fully mends and is ready to compete again.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetail is traumatized,\u201d Phillips wrote. \u201cEvery time she runs away from the approach of my hand, I burst into tears. This is my best friend. An innocent sweet horse was brutally tortured for no reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
